Lime,
May I also suggest you take a look at the Application form for Naturalisation (if British Citizenship may be required in the future)
The reason is that there are requirements relating to absences from UK that are not mentioned in the ILR form. The absences count back into ILR period.
I would also advise preparing for and taking the Life in UK Test asap. Leaving it will only build up pressure to study and pass. The test may be taken as many times as is needed.
Thanks arthur and terpe! i have read the guidelines for set (M) and it only says passport and signed photo of me and my partner and the result of life in the uk test. it says something about the supporting documents but they didn't specify. ive been reading posts here and it has been mentioned about the utility bills, do we need to provide them? and what about bank statements?
Council Tax Billings - bearing your joint names - are generally considered to be the best evidence that you've lived together over a 2-year period ... and are among the first things the authorities will expect to see when dealing with your application. Likewise, your most recent Bank Statements.ive been reading posts here and it has been mentioned about the utility bills, do we need to provide them? and what about bank statements?
Always better to read the form first, then read the guide.Thanks arthur and terpe! i have read the guidelines for set (M) and it only says passport and signed photo of me and my partner and the result of life in the uk test. it says something about the supporting documents but they didn't specify. ive been reading posts here and it has been mentioned about the utility bills, do we need to provide them? and what about bank statements?
